When you get adjusted to it; you'll then know why I say playing is really simple....you'll just touch the string to the frets and a note will ring out vs. having to push, press, and hold/jamming strings against fretboard.


If you put in hours on the guitar, your next move at the luthier will be getting another set up to file the frets to accommodate heavier strings, and because you have flattened some of them from playing/practice.
